Bielefeld on the verge of a historic coup: DFB Cup final against Stuttgart!
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin is ready for the German Cup final, which will take place on May 24, 2025. VfB Stuttgart is in the final against Arminia Bielefeld and has the chance to save the season. Stuttgart finished in 9th place in the Bundesliga and therefore missed out on qualifying for the knockout round of the Champions League. Nevertheless, the Swabians hope to celebrate a significant success in the DFB Cup after 18 years without a title. Bluewin reports about the explosive situation.
Bielefeld, on the other hand, dreams of historic success. The team could become the first third division team to win the German Cup after gaining promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in the previous season. In addition, winning the DFB Cup would be a ticket to the Europa League. Coach Uli Forte highlights the support of the fans and emphasizes that the team will do everything to change history, as all third division teams have lost in the cup final.
Stuttgart's squad and current form
The VfB Stuttgart squad includes the Swiss Luca Jaquez, Fabian Rieder and Leonidas Stergiou. However, Stergiou's use is questionable due to a syndesmosis injury. Rieder, who was only on the field as a substitute in the last three league games, could leave the club. Nevertheless, Stuttgart showed good form in the last three Bundesliga games with three wins in a row. However, coach Sebastian Hoeness urges caution as Bielefeld eliminated four Bundesliga teams on the way to the final. Yahoo Sports reports.
VfB Stuttgart's last title win dates back to 2007, when they won the championship trophy. The team has not been able to celebrate a DFB Cup triumph since 1997. The return to the top is eagerly awaited by fans, especially after the disappointment in the Bundesliga. The anticipation for the final is huge, as the 1.66 million ticket requests clearly demonstrate: demand far exceeds supply.
